Heat broth on low on the stove.
Prepare to bake your garlic..cut a 1/4 inch on the tip to expose most of the garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap in foil, bake at 300 for 45 mins. Remove, cool for touch and squeeze the garlic whole, the cloves come out as a golden paste. Add this to your broth. *you can skip this step if you’re in a hurry and sauté raw garlic until soft and slightly gold add the broth to it from there..

Add rice and chicken cook on med low covered for approx 20 mins. Test to be sure rice is cooked before proceeding.
The only tricky part is this step. In a separate bowl crack the eggs and whisk until fluffy and yellow. Add while whisking the lemon juice very slowly so as not to curdle. After they are whisked fluffy again you need to temper the eggs. Add a ladle of the hot broth to the eggs and whisk, add 2 more ladies of broth whisking a peach time. Turn off the stove. Put the spinach in at this point.
Add the egg mixture to the broth and stir. Let it stay on the warm element for another 5 or so mins but remove if it starts to boil. This is when the magic happens and your soup turns into a lovely creamy rich lemon chowder.
Adjust seasoning and serve.
Reheating, if you do need to serve later it has to be slow with no boiling, so as not to serve a fancy omelette instead 😉

Serves 4

Side note: I love to make this after leftovers from my Greek lemon chicken dinner (see recipe in my blog). I use the carcass of the chicken and roast drippings to make my stock fresh. Shred up leftover chicken and add to the stock. The rest is all the same.
